FEATURE NAME CHECK IN TO DIGITAL

Welcome to the Moment Vault.

The letters to remember right now at Orlando International Airport are not related to terminal designations or location identifiers (MCO). Instead it’s EME, which stands for “Experiential Media Environment.”

Conceptualized by Executive Producer MRA International Group with Marcela Sardi, executive creative director at creative studio Sardi Design, this new EME welcomes travelers at the recently opened state-of-the-art South Terminal C at the busy airport.

The multimedia “Moment Vault” is the focal point of the EME at Orlando International Airport. Passengers walk through three monumental curved 2mm LED displays forming a circle and interact with its content.

The immersive real-time experience is made possible through Realmotion’s latest G32 real-time media servers and Fusion tracking technology that instantly converts a subject’s motion into digital wireframes that are integrated into the onscreen content produced by creative studio Gentilhomme, providing delightful selfie-ready moments.

The company’s multi-GPU Fusion server uses six cameras to provide 3D marker-less tracking for up to twentyfive subjects within the confines of the Moment Vault. The real-time tracking system then transmits the data to three Realmotion G32 servers where it feeds into an Unreal Engine scene.

This setup involves A.I. and machine learning to ensure accurate people tracking through the generation of a “3D pose estimate” for each individual in the space. Each pose estimate is used to accurately place real-time virtual avatars in live digital content.

The total solution provides content creators a unique set of capabilities that enable novel, memorable interactive experiences for travelers and create positive associations with the airport and the city of Orlando.

The Moment Vault was designed and is being managed by Smart Monkeys, Inc., a Florida-based consulting firm that specializes in feature-centric technology implementations for locationbased entertainment.

“With the amazing permanent digital canvas offered in the Moment Vault, Orlando International Airport can offer much greater visibility and opportunity to artists and content creators, while enjoying a simpler, more powerful management system,” said Smart Monkeys Design Consultant Paul Bristol. “In a custom-built environment with a semicaptive audience, these experiences can help artists gain name recognition and notoriety while providing a one-of-akind space that is instantly identifiable when shared on social media.”

The exterior of the Moment Vault is also adorned with 4mm DVLED displays, ensuring that every visitor in Terminal C can be part of the experience, even if they don’t walk through the middle of the installation.

Two additional high-tech installations make up Terminal C’s EME experience. “Windows On Orlando” comprises three adjacent panoramic screens that form a one hundred-foot-long, thirtytwo-foot-tall display, while “The Portal” presents a three-story steel sculpture in the shape of a helix featuring thirty-two custom curved screens.

All three digital display experiences display content relevant to the locale, including space launches, underwater adventures, and the story of Florida’s transformation from springs and ranchlands to the dawn of theme parks and spaceports.
